QlikView 11 for Developers: Effective analytics techniques for modern Business Intelligence

This book covers a complete set of Qlikview development topics using a realistic sample application. The code and sample data are available for download and all materials work with Qlikview Personal edition. The book is suitable for beginners and intermediates. Even as a highly experienced practitioner, I learned quite a bit from my read. The authors do an excellent job of developing a sample application that covers most of the data modeling and analysis challenges you are likely to encounter in real world development. Following the tradition of the best programming guides, the application scenario is relevant and used consistently throughout. In addition to covering the basics everyone needs to get started, the book gives a good treatment of advanced topics such as set analysis and aggr(). I was pleased to see use of real world advanced techniques such as storing point in time expressions in variables. I was also impressed with the editorial layout of the book which I found very effective and easy to read. Good clean layout (like a great dashboard), good use of tips, the right amount of pictures and examples.

This book is one of the better tool specific BI books I've read. I started off with Qlikview in January after working with MIcrosoft SQL stack for a while. The book is well written, well paced and well edited. The sample case the book takes you through is pedagogical, and with enough sample data to give you a real feeling of how Qlikview handles. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for study material for their certification (it definately helped me pass my exam) as well as for entry level Qlikview developers. I dare say intermediate level developers as well due to the authors' best practice guides - but I'm to new with Qlikview to put money on it...

Excellent Qlikview resource

I bought this for better expression building and scripting. All I can say is that within 10 minutes I had double my knowledge of set analyses. The book is very easy to navigate. For a give topic, the author sets the ground rules (here's how set analysis works and why it is use); then the author builds up that complexity and variable uses of that topic (here's a standard format; here's a complex format); finally the examples used are clear and easy to follow. No guessing about what the author is trying to do with a written expression.

Bought 4 books on QlikView and this is the best so far. I have not finished it yet, but so far so good, and it seems to be the most practical book to learn from. I have developed and implemented a QlikView application for a company, and this book will get me further. Will update when I have finished it.

When I started to process some analytical data, accumulated by our trade accounting system, I wanted a tool to help me dig through piles and piles of various data. I was presented with QlikView by some vendor company we worked with. I was shocked by its simplicity and power. Note: QlikView is much easy to use if you are a programmer type. If you are more a user type, consider using Tableau instead.

Very detailed with very useful information. I would say its for begginners and high intermediate users. Good examples, probably one of the most complete books regardins this tool.

This is a very solid intermediate text for those relatively new to QlikView. If you have a few years and advanced level understanding, then you won't get a lot out of it. Still, there were a couple of useful learnings in there for me.

Ottima guida per chi vuole acquisire competenze in QlikView. Acquisto consigliato insieme al libro "QlikView for Developers Cookbook" di Stephen Redmond

Very good help for preparing developer certification

Bueno libro, tanto para el principiante como para quien tenga ya algo de experiencia con el uso de QlikView. .

Vale muito a pena comprar este livro, pois ele aborda desde os conceitos mais básicos até os mais avançados do QlikView. A leitura é muito boa, é muito bem escrito. Os exemplos são excelentes. Recomendo a todos.

Livre bien écrit. J'utilisais Qlik sans aucune formation en utilisant exclusivement l'aide en ligne et la communauté Qlikview. L'ouvrage, très bien fait, m'a permis de rationaliser mes compétences sur Qlik.
